🚨 Minor Incident $14.1M/yr
25.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
One localized incident (small gallery or restaurant) requiring mobilization, conservation, amnestic administration, and limited PR/legal response.

🚨 Major Incident $20.6M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$6.7M vs baseline
Major museum/masterpiece is damaged during a high-profile event requiring international deployment, replacement/reserve payout, substantial PR/legal response, and intensive restoration.

🚨 Catastrophic Exposure $113.9M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$100.0M vs baseline

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges, enabling reasonable aggregation, but large uncertainties remain around replacement values, frequency of major incidents, and required reserve draw — hence medium confidence.
